Hi guys ,
I’ve started stripping down the Yamaha ca-2010 ready for a recap , whilst doing so I will replace the thermal paste on the transistors but I can’t find any replacement gaskets online , are they not called gaskets? What should I search for and is there an improved alternative nowadays?

Also known as TO-3 thermal pads.
